What is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Sitting still, listening quietly, having difficulty paying attention, following directions, and concentrating are some of the things that children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulty doing, not because they are unwilling, but because their brains won't let them. Educators must have a lot of patience, creativity, and consistency. In this training, participants will explore strategies that will help children with ADHD to focus, concentrate on tasks and learn to develop all their skills.
